Yes i tried. I also tried the other cable without success. I also tried prying the contact metal. This helped for a month.

Looks like a replacement is necessary. I hope you get this sorted out.

1. relpacing a damaged cable easily
2. in the Momentum case to use the one with iPhone remote with the iPhone and the other one with all other audio Players

Hi , for what ?!

To replace a broken one, to change a long one with a short one depending on your use (desk vs on the go), to upgrade the cable easily....
 
Cheers,

Hello everyone, I'd love some help.
 
I'm looking to get these headphones but I am very concerned about their small size. I have 65mm ears top to bottom.
 
Could anyone with similar size ears let me in on their experience with the Momentums and how they treat your ears in longer sessions?
 
Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

65mm here.
They're one of the most comfortable headphones I've ever owned.
 
That said, others with similar size ears have reported pain.
I think it also depends on the shape of your ears, how far out they stick out etc.

I see, thank you for your reply.
 
I am really torn here, comfort is everything for me and if I absolutely had to I'd probably unwillingly dish out the extra cash for the 2.0 but the price and colorway of the first generation is really attractive to me.
 
Will be a very tough decision.

I have the Momentum 1st gen and find comfort ok but not for more than a couple of hrs.They sound great but I would go for the 2nd gen if I was in your position and could afford them. If comfort is important to you the extra money will prob be worth it. I only use mine when I need a closed can other wise it's the HD600s.

I've owned momentum, brown, for like 3 months. The ear pads turned black and are very sticky to the touch (because dye is breaking up?).  I don't care about color but stickiness is annoying me. Any of you had this problem? Will it go away?

Post some picture, are you sure it's not a fake one, never heard of these issues....

Yeah... sounds fishy... I've had mine for over 2 years and have had no such issue.

 

[city98]

I bought them at the store in US, authorized dealer. I'm sure they're real. They're built and sound like they're supposed to, great. Maybe I'm not used to real leather feel. The only other headphones I had with real leather ear pads are P5 and ath-es9.  My other headphones have pleather and velour ear pads, so I can't compare.  The thing is though, I don't think the ear pads were sticky when they were brown.  I think they're getting sticky because brown dye is wearing off? Annoys the hell out of me.  

 

[GREQ]

Do you use lots of hair products?
Do you sweat a lot? (or live in a very naturally tropical climate?)
Do you use leather treatment products on the ear pads?

 

[LNuneek]

Yeah that does sound weird. Have the headphones been in situations where they were exposed to a lot of heat? Almost sounds like the pads are kinda melting.

 

[AstroBlack]

  Bought these used from Amazon for under 110, are there any good replacement earpads for these?
 
I figured out why these were being sold as "like new" by the seller. The earpads are mismatched in size, its like the left earpad is deformed.
